Foreword
The Biological Safety Manual (or Biosafety Manual) has been adopted by Arizona State University to be a resource for information, guidelines, policies, and procedures that will enable safe research and to help eliminate, or reduce, the potential for exposure to biohazards. The Department of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) developed this manual to help ensure compliance with the following federal, state, and local regulations and guidance materials:
? 18 United States Code ? 175b ? 29 Code of Federal Regulations ? 1910.1030 ? 42 Code of Federal Regulations ? 1003 ? 42 Code of Federal Regulations ? 71.54 ? 42 Code of Federal Regulations ? 72-73 ? 49 Code of Federal Regulations ? 171-180 ? 7 Code of Federal Regulations ? 331 ? 9 Code of Federal Regulations ? 121 ? Arizona Administrative Code, Article 14, Biohazardous Medical Waste and Discarded Drugs ? Arthropod Containment Guidelines, Version 3.2. ? Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Institutes of Health, "Biosafety in
Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories, 6th Edition."
? Department of Health and Human Services, "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory
Animals, 8th edition."
? National Institutes of Health, "Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic
Nucleic Acid Molecules"
? Public Act 107-188, HR3448 ? United States Department of Agriculture, or USDA permitting requirements
The ASU Biosafety Manual provides a compilation of suggested work practices, protocols, and systems to work safely at ASU. The ASU Biosafety Manual should not be considered the only reference for health and safety concerns. It is intended that the principal investigator and supervisory personnel will supplement this information with instruction and guidance regarding specific practices and procedures unique to the work being done in their areas by completing a labspecific biosafety manual and including all relevant documentation available to laboratory users. In addition, EHS is always available to address health and safety concerns. The ASU Biosafety Manual is reviewed at least annually by EHS and the Institutional Biosafety Committee and was last approved on December 19, 2022.
